Calcium supplements may reduce bone fractures, study says

There’s good news for the millions of Americans who suffer from bone fractures every year. Calcium supplements may lower the risk of fractures in people over the age of 50 by more than 10 percent, according to a report by researchers from the University of Western Sydney in Australia.

The report, published recently in the British medical journal The Lancet, combined data from 17 studies involving 52,625 people at least 50 years old. Researchers found that supplementation was linked to a 12 percent reduction in the risk of fractures.

This is significant because national statistics indicate 50 percent of women and 25 percent of men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture.

Additionally, research showed that calcium supplements led to a 0.54 percent reduction in bone loss in the hip and a 1.2 percent reduction of bone loss in the spine, according to the study. Researchers also noted that the results were even more favorable when supplements contained vitamin D.

Oxyfresh’s Cal-Mag is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D. Each serving contains 1,000 mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D.

For those over 50, it is recommended you take 1-1/2 servings of cal-mag daily, which is equivalent to the dosages of calcium and vitamin D given to people in the University of Western Sydney study.

“Protect your bone health and make sure Cal-Mag is part of your daily supplementation,” says Tom Lunneborg, Oxyfresh’s Director of Production and Distribution.
